Our procedures

We have an obligation to take reasonable steps to prevent snow and ice endangering the safe passage of pedestrians and vehicles over public roads, including carriageways, footways, footpaths and pedestrian precincts. Our Winter Service Document (PDF, 164kb) outlines the procedures we have in place to make sure we fulfil these duties.

Clearing snow and ice from your street - guidance

Residents clearing snow and ice from their street are advised to exercise reasonable care to avoid making conditions worse. It is an urban myth that you'll be sued or held legally responsible for any injuries which occur on a street you have cleared. You can only be successfully sued if you were negligent. People walking on snow and ice have a responsibility to be careful themselves. Please follow our guidance:
